well, that was unexpected
« on: March 22, 2010, 10:02:41 pm »
breached the Clown pit, and had all but 3 of my dwarves killed. I figured "hey, might as well kill everything before i save scum. so, i set a meeting point behind the CLowns that came out, and sent all 50-odd animals towards them. most of them died quickly, but some decided they didn't want that.

5 stegosaurus and 1 triceratops (dig deeper) went and buchered around 22 tentacle clowns. of those 6, 1 steggy died after being mobbed by 6 clowns, and 2 other steggy'swill likely die of thier wounds(missing both legs on one and both eyes on another)

Screw the military, I'm breeding a dinosaur army

There are dwarves that are nothing but useless sacrifices - Miners are not one of them.

What's this?  Dinosaurs, being massive beasts designed for surviving a world with huge, aggressive predators, are capable of fighting against huge, aggressive predators? 

Isn't that something you should have expected?

Personally, I like [DF] because after climbing the damned learning cliff, I'm too elitist to consider not liking it.

According to chaos theory, your well-laid plans to breed an army of useful dinosaurs will end in failure and a hit novel/film. I approve wholeheartedly. ;)

You just know this is jurrasic park waiting to happen.
But most mods that add difficulty just forget about the funhouse, the poor clowns are left exactly as they were in vanilla, and as such may come out horribly underpowered compared to new aboveground things.

I suggest modding in a fourth clown, a many-armed, ever-burning and amphibious clown, combine the good parts of them all for extra Fun.

What kind of statues are your masons making, that you think they have "maximum exposure"?

(Full frontal ones, apparently.  With very short beards.)

The resulting party killed 20 dwarves, crippled 2 more and the remaining 9 managed to get along and have a nice party.

That would be as deadly to the wielder as to anyone else!  You'd sever your own arm at the first swing!  It's perfect!

Google "Cognitive Dissonance", first result.
AKA, The way you feel after finding two basely conflicting logical truths that are portrayed with mutually acceptance of their counterpart.

Also… What The Hell are you talking about? Magnesium???

Magnesium burns pretty hot and really brightly, especially when in contact with water. So a magnesium-infused monster that lives in water would burn really brightly...all the time.

Jumping to conclusions is awesome.
